I've heard that the major differences were
(1) support internal AC power supply, a good choice I believe.
(2) USB control chip was changed from KC (Taiwanese) to something
	made in Japan (SANYO, probably).  Hmm, I should have chosen
this new type, if I knew it.

By the way, I'm be sure the sound quality of that device is very high.

Onkyo is a company located in Osaka, hehehe.
